But I need not dwell further upon Clyde's military character; his gallantry at 200 SIR COLIN CAMPBELL. the battle of the Alma, at the head of his beloved Highlanders, and his zeal, ability, and cool intrepidity throughout the rest of the Crimean campaign were faithfully recorded at the time, and do not need to be related here.
